Half portion available, $11
Beets and goat cheese
$14Roasted beets from a grower in Goodhue County, warm goat cheese, toasted sunflower seeds, honey and thyme. Available without honey.

Changes in December
Pan-fried walleye
$32Walleye from Lake Pepin when we can get it, otherwise from Lake of the Woods, fried skin side down. Brown butter with capers, dill potatoes and pickled cucumber.

Mushroom risotto
